Leader of Algerian Ulama passes away at 93

It is with great sadness that we inform you that one of our elders and Shouyoukh has passed into the mercy of Allah. Shaikh Abdur Rahman al-Sheybaan (RA) was born in the year 1918 and passed away on the 12th of August 2011 at the grand age of 93 after a lifetime of serving the deen in numerous positions of office and responsibility.

“Indeed, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, until there remains no scholar and the people take the ignorant as their leaders. Then they are asked and give religious judgments without knowledge, they go astray and cause other to go astray.”
